Weren't sure where to put this but thought this might be the best place!Let us know your best tips for coping with hot weather and pregnancy....

Mine is.....An hour or Di before bed put a damp flannel in your fridge. Just before going to bed have a cool shower then lay on your bed with the cold flannel over your eyes, you stay cool which allows you to get to sleep!

Re: Tips For Coping With Heat & Pregnancy

I am really struggling with this. Last night, I used a damp flannel which i kept cold by laying it over a box of ice, also wrapped an ice pack in a pillowcase and kept it at my feet (I've done this for a number of years, not just a pregnant thing!)

But even so, i woke up drenched in sweat during the night

Right now, i am bathing my feet in cold water, feels wonderful.Px
